I saw the aftermath of the Adas Israel Congregation fire

I took these photos on Third Avenue East, looking north.  The sky is overcast with rainstorms approaching, mirroring the gloom in the hearts of the civilian onlookers.

Years ago, a man who once lived in my apartment, I’ve forgotten their name, told me that this building was a Christian Church that had been turned into an apartment building.

This Jewish synagogue has no outside signs at all, so I believed that man without checking the facts for myself.  A quick Google search would have told me that this building is a synagogue.  From now on, I intend to be more careful about checking facts for myself.
